Chapter 121: Surgery in a Shabby Environment
The living room was filled with a heavy and silent atmosphere. Old Master Li sensed the severity of the matter and looked at the seriously injured Li Nanchen.
Old Master Li’s body, which was supported by the walking stick, suddenly trembled. Two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of his wrinkled eyes. He forced himself to look at Wu Mei. At this point, saving Li Nanchen was the most important thing!
He called for the butler to make an empty space in the living room out and let Wu Mei make the arrangements. “Lass, Grandpa believes you.”
Wu Mei nodded. With a calm gaze, she instructed the butler and Bi Fang to move Li Nanchen to a suitable dining table. The environment in the villa was simple. She stood in front of Li Nanchen and used a pair of scissors to rip apart the clothes that were stuck to his skin…
“Get the first aid kit and the equipment used to monitor the heart rate in the Old Master’s room. Then, prepare to disinfect and anesthetize him…”
“I’ll operate on him and retrieve the remaining shrapnel from his body…”
As a Miracle Doctor, how could Bi Fang be willing to give in and let Wu Mei command him as she pleased?
He wanted to argue, but Wu Mei lifted her eyes and stared at him fixedly. She berated him fiercely, “What are you standing there for? You want to watch Li Nanchen die?”
Wu Mei looked at the fragments from the explosion that had been embedded in Li Nanchen’s body. After disinfecting the equipment carefully, she steadily took out two pieces and threw them onto the tray. Her movements were swift and skilful…
Bi Fang felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at her eyes and could only shut up and follow her instructions.
The equipment used to monitor Li Nanchen’s vital signs emitted a slow but comforting sound. Wu Mei tried her best to maintain a clear and calm state. Bi Fang cooperated well with her, as if they had rehearsed this countless times…
Clink! Clank!
Wu Mei took out the last fragment with a pair of forceps and heaved a sigh of relief. She said, “Deal with the wound and prepare to close it.”
Bi Fang was a little hesitant. He had not been completely sterile during the entire operation, so the wound was highly likely to be infected and fester.
Wu Mei furrowed her brows and snatched the suturing thread from his hand. She quickly sutured the wound. Her precision and meticulousness were definitely not inferior to that of a doctor from a large hospital. In shock, Bi Fang helped her wrap things up…
“You’ve worked hard.”
Wu Mei patted Bi Fang’s shoulder lightly. As her highly-strung mind relaxed, an extremely intense ache spread throughout her body.
She felt like she couldn’t even lift her arms and neck. However, she forced herself to stay conscious and got Bi Fang to take care of Li Nanchen before heading to the bedroom to inform Old Master Li.
Wu Mei’s eyes turned cold and her entire body was covered in murderous intent. Her eyes were bloodshot as she recalled Li Nanchen’s injured state…
That bunch of beasts, she will never let off anyone who hurt Li Nanchen!
Knock! Knock! Wu Mei knocked lightly on the door. Old Master Li was so nervous that he pushed the wheelchair over to open the door. He looked at her expectantly and nervously as he asked, “How is it?”
“Li Nanchen’s surgery was very successful. Don’t worry.”
Wu Mei squatted down and looked at Old Master Li gently. “But we have a tough battle to fight next.”
“Stay in the villa. No matter what you hear, don’t think too much about it. Don’t trust anyone other than me, and don’t act rashly. Leave Li Nanchen’s revenge to me. Do you trust me?”
Old Master Li stared at her pretty face and thought to himself, The once weak little girl has become someone who can take charge of her own affairs.
Wu Mei’s gaze was firm as she waited for his answer.
Old Master Li was silent for a long time before he slowly said, “Lass, no matter what, you have to take care of yourself. Don’t… get injured again because of this.” His tone was filled with the love of an elder, causing Wu Mei’s heart to warm up.
She took care of Old Master Li and lay him down. She then fed him some sleeping pills. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, she then turned around and returned to Li Nanchen’s side.
Bi Fang moved away from the bed and leaned against the desk. Looking at Li Nanchen’s face, which had lost a lot of blood, he said, “Based on the amount of anesthetic injected, he should have regained consciousness now, but he’s still unconscious. Could it be…”
Wu Mei was so tired that she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She simply held Li Nanchen’s hand and listened to his heartbeat. She felt slightly more at ease…
Met with a rebuff, Bi Fang shrugged before curling up on the desk to rest.
In the evening, Wu Mei dozed off for about half an hour or so. Her heart skipped two beats, and she seemed to have sensed something as she woke up abruptly…
She felt that the temperature on her palm was a little strange. She stood up to feel the temperature of Li Nanchen’s forehead.
Why is he burning up?!
